"garbage collection is faster than explicit memory management - but only if the memory used was five times or greater more than you would use with explicit memory management"
"Use generation count to look for objects that may be causing memory leaks - every object on the heap has an age, which is the number of garbage collections it has survived, called it's generation. The number of different generations of instances of a class is called the generation count. A class with an increasing generation count is a prime suspect of being involved in a memory leak - it has instances of many different ages, and that is growing too."
